Book Report – The Hospitality Commands

Hospitality is commanded in the New Testament – not just once, but a number of times. We build each other up as believers through it, and we can evangelize non-believers with it, too.

Through this small book, Strauch wants to change that. He clearly explains each of the commands and exhorts us to carry them out. The practical suggestions he gives are very helpful, too. “Be hospitable to one another without complaint” (1 Pet. 4:9).
